Re: Spamassassin and outbound mail

[john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (John Sievert)]

You absolutely can create your own local.cf file and whitelist domain names.  It works fine - we did it to ours, no problem.

What happens is SA then adds a -100 to the score, making sure that no mail message ever gets hung up by a positive score from the whitelisted domains.  To set this up you need to do the following:


Login in to the shell as root, edit up the local.cf file in the directory /etc/mail/spamassassin.  You may need to add the spamassassin directory.  Then add a line that says:

whitelist_from *yourdomain.com

You might want to add some other whitelists too.  Just add them one to a line.  Then:

ps -jax|grep spamd

To find the process id for spamd.

kill <process id for spamd insert PID number here>

spamd -d -D

ps -jax | grep spamd

To verify spamd is running.

Logout of root.  You're done.
